It means the working copy is modified. I am thinking if for 'playing' purposes, I will copy the 'working copy' from working copy location (ie. my local machine) to another temp location for that.

In that case you can use 'Export' to create a clean copy (i.e. without
.svn folders) from (part of) your working copy.
